“…Social media posts from Twitter, Weibo, and other popular platforms have been used in many studies as social sensing sources, often powered by natural language processing and text mining techniques. Researchers have used social media analytics to detect mental health problems, social responses to health intervention policies, needs for healthcare services, and other hidden or manifested public health issues to study the social impact of the pandemic (e.g., Tiwari et al, 2021; Huang et al, 2022; Tran et al, 2023). • Location intelligence data and aggregated trends data.…”

The past years have seen significant achievements in cross-disciplinary geospatial and urban analytical research to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. New methods and tools have been developed. Geospatial and urban analytic perspectives are proven to be of utmost importance and are irreplaceable. Location data, geographic thinking, and urban analytical techniques play significant roles in these studies. With the ever-increasing volume of spatial big data and location intelligence, as well as the rapidly growing GeoAI techniques, urban analytics has boundless opportunities to contribute significantly to future cross-disciplinary research endeavors against epidemics.

“…This study aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on awareness of the importance of public parks and associated use rates and patterns, taking Saudi Arabia as a case study. Surveys could be effectively used in this regard [23] . The study examined satisfaction with the urban design of these parks and offered some recommendations in this regard.…”

“…The Covid-19 pandemic has affected people’s habits and use of places and cities including their relationship with the public spaces [20] , [21] . As a result of social distancing measures associated with the peak of COVID-19 pandemic, the health benefits of public parks became more recognised as people were in need to get outside their homes for physical activities and companion seeking [22] , [23] . The increased visitation rate of the public parks following the peak of the pandemic has exposed a lack of urban parks sufficiency in many cities across the world.…”

“…Addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the value and role of public urban spaces has been the subject of many recent studies. Some considered the global context, utilising big data [4] , [38] , while others focused more on local contexts [23] , [39] , [40] . In general, conducting field studies in public places during the pandemic was challenging due to people’s absence from those places [41] .…”

“…Likewise, Korea also increased people’s attention and usage of small-scale outdoor activities in natural spaces that could comply with quarantine policies outside of a hermetic, dense, closed environment. Moreover, the mention of natural green space online rose compared with before COVID-19 [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

The growing interest and usage of green space during the pandemic relates to why greenery increases enjoyment of daily life and alleviates troubles arising from infectious periods. However, it is necessary to understand what reactions to the degree of COVID-19’s spread were expressed in hiking exercise characteristics (hiking frequency, actual movement distance, average speed, total exercise time). To understand the progress of forest usage behavior during the pandemic, we analyzed factors influencing hiking exercise characteristics and relationships between those factors and hiking exercise characteristics. Hiking record data were obtained (2019–2020) from the workout app “Tranggle” pertaining to hikers in their 20s and 30s who visited the 13 mountains in the Seoul Metropolitan Area most frequently. The differences in hiking exercise characteristics (2019 data subtracted from 2020) were linked with factor data that could be related to them, including the degree of COVID-19’s spread (Rt). To explore relationships between hiking exercise characteristics and factors, we developed four models with a linear mixed model. We found that Rt, kk, weekdays/weekends, and PM10 contributed to explaining the hiking exercise characteristics’ differences. As a result of this analysis, the degree of COVID-19’s spread (Rt) affected hiking frequency; the week affected hiking frequency and actual movement distance; weekdays or weekends affected hiking frequency, actual movement distance, average speed, and total exercise time; and PM10 affected hiking frequency. These findings indicate that hiking was an alternative way for those looking for a new strategy to replace lost opportunities for physical activity. Therefore, we conclude that it is necessary to induce the usage of green space so that many people can take advantage of the functions and benefits of greenery, which stood out during the pandemic era.
